However, amid all of these happenings, an interesting revelation has come to the limelight. The Ireland Cricket Board has approached Sanju Samson to join its team. If you are curious to know about the whole scoop and what was his take on this offer then you are in for a treat. Read on to enlighten yourself.

The Ireland Cricket Board offered an interesting deal to Indian cricketer Sanju Samson

In the recent exciting happenings pertaining to the cricket world, impeccable player Samson was given an offer that nobody anticipated. As per the reports, the Ireland Cricket Board recently offered Samson not just a place in its team but also to lead it. The Ireland cricket president said as we quote,

“We will let him play all the matches if he is in our national team. He is a very impressive batter and he is one of the rare talent. We provide him an offer to play the matches from our national team. Our team required a skipper and batter like him. If the Indian team is overlooking him then he can join us, we respect him and make him play every match.”

The Ireland cricket board assured Sanju that if he agrees to move to the country he would not be sidelined and will get to play in every game.

Here is how Sanju Samson reacted to Ireland’s offer

Although this deal sounds tempting and something that would further his cricketing career Sanju politely declined the offer. He replied to the Ireland cricket president’s offer and said,

“First of all, I want to thank Ireland’s cricket president for considering me for this role but I can’t accept his offer. I started my cricketing to play for Indian national cricket team. I don’t want to play for any other nation or can’t even think to play for another nation. I can’t accept this offer and I want to say sorry to Ireland’s cricket president.”

He further added by stating,

“Although, I haven’t got plenty of chances in the Indian cricket team but I will work hard and have self believe and sometimes the combination of team doesn’t allow your place in the playing XI but it doesn’t mean I am sad.”

Since the three-match ODI series against South Africa, the 28-year-old has not made his appearance on the field. In that series, he did an amazing job with his unbeaten 86 runs which made India get closer to a win in the first ODI. We hope that he gets the opportunity to showcase his talent once again on an international level.
